The burgeoning artists have access to the equipment in the on-site Epson Digital Media Suite, allowing them to experiment with a range of technologies and styles during their course.
Works on display until March 11th include Elliot Dodd’s ‘Prototype’, produced using digitally printed steel sheets; Gergana Georgieva’s digital video installation ‘You Don’t Know My Name’, shown on Epson projectors; and a collection of large-format digital prints on canvas and cottons by student Anna Hughes.
In this year’s show certain artworks would not have been either conceivable or achievable without Epson’s support and generosity”
“The success of this year’s RA Schools Premiums exhibition once again illustrates the fantastic symbiosis of creativity that the Epson-sponsored collaboration with our students creates. It highlights the important roles that digital technologies and expertise naturally hold for this generation of emerging contemporary artists,” says Mark Hampson, head of materials process at Royal Academy Schools.
“In this year’s show certain artworks would not have been either conceivable or achievable without Epson’s support and generosity. In return, the students offer a fresh view on the way that artists will use digital imagery and technologies in the future through production of artworks of beauty, inventiveness, and intelligence.”
